Russia cynically termed the seditionist conflict in Crimea and Eastern Donbas a 'civil war' in order to claim non-involvement. This flies in the face of evidence, but the authors argue that the social science literature on civil wars can be used help understand why no political solution was found between 2015 and 2022. The book explains how Russia, after seizing Crimea, was reacting to events it could not control and sent troops only to areas of Ukraine where it knew it would face little resistance (Eastern Donbas). Kremlin decision makers misunderstood the attachment of the Russian-speaking population to the Ukrainian state and also failed to anticipate that their intervention would transform Ukraine into a more cohesively 'Ukrainian' polity. Drawing on Ukrainian documentary sources, this concise book explains these important developments to a non-specialist readership. -- $c Provided by publisher 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 214-263) and index. 505 00 $g 8. $t A frozen conflict thaws. $g 2. $t A theory of war onset in post-Soviet Eurasia -- $g 3. $t Before Maidan -- $g 4. $t Regime change (Maidan) -- $g 5. $t Irredentist annexation (Crimea) -- $g 6. $t "The Russian Spring" (East Ukraine) -- $g 7. $t The war and Russian intervention (Donbas) -- $g 8. $t A frozen conflict thaws. 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 650 0 $a Ukraine Conflict, 2014- 650 0 $a Intervention (International law) 650 7 $a International relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00977053 650 7 $a Intervention (International law) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00977583 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 651 0 $a Ukraine $x History $y Euromaidan Protests, 2013-2014. 651 0 $a Ukraine $x Politics and government $y 21st century. 651 0 $a Ukraine $x Relations $z Russia (Federation) 651 0 $a Russia (Federation) $x Relations $z Ukraine. 651 7 $a Russia (Federation) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01262050 651 7 $a Ukraine. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01211738 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Driscoll, Jesse, $d 1978- $e author. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231219013455.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20231216010543.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DDB0368AAE9011EDA0B1416654ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
